Chintzy vibes. Saccharine and maudlin. Voice has the emotional range of a fan coil unit. Couldn’t make it through the whole album.

Songwriting isn’t great. Production hasn’t aged well. Mid.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

3/5

As good as lounge music gets? Not quite, but almost. I like the trip hop influence to the album. The sound is great. Has some good moments. Ultimately it can feel a bit shallow, by resorting to breakbeats and non-sequitur samples, it kinda avoids eye contact a bit. Olsen and Roygbiv stand up pretty well and sound pretty fresh nearly 30 years later.

Vulnicura

Björk

3/5

It’s got some nice moments, but it felt a bit reliant on bjorkisms, and the production was a bit off. Some of the sounds were incongruous. Stonemilker and history of touches were high points and there were good ideas but overall just a 3

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

1/5

2 bit album. I don’t find the lyrics interesting, and I certainly don’t find the music interesting. The guitar sounds farty and the singing is devoid of range and depth.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

Based off the name, and the high number of covers, I assumed this would be a joke album or a bit of a gimmick. Surf rock riffs with bongos and blaxsploitation style funk with bongos. And those hiphop sample moments. It’s fine, and at times, pretty good actually.

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon
